I imagine some of you 'veteran' shooters remember the days gone by when
ammo was aplenty and the prices were very low. What price do you remember
22lr at?

I can remember 19.9 cents/gallon, that's the lowest I can go. I'm a relatively new shooter so $15 for a brick is low for 22lr for me.

I remember that too. Coke was a nickel with a penny deposit for the bottle and we liked Ike.

Remember the old jingle on the radio? Pepsi Cola hits the spot, 12 full ounces that's a lot, twice as much for a nickel too, Pepsi Cola is the drink for you

Let's see I'm 34, I started buying pistol ammo 13 years ago.... I thought $12 was expensive for 40s&w and 9mm was $9 for decent stuff.....

The lowest I remember on gas was 0.17/gal.
As far as 22lr the lowest I remember is $0.39/50.

I can remember 50 round boxes for 79 cents. The first long plastic CCI boxes I ever saw were $1.88 IIRC. Seems like a box of .38 was seven bucks?
Earliest gun prices I can remember, I paid $125 for a used blue Speed-Six in .38 with the 2 1/4 barrel, my first gun. My brand new stainless Security-Six, 4 inch, was $310. The shop threw in a $30 Bianchi thumb break holster.
Cheapest gas ever I bought at normal price was about 36 cents. With gas wars it was sometimes 25 cents.
In high school, one of our more famous eateries had hotdogs for 22 cents, a Coke (in the bottle) was 15 cents. A bowl of chili was thirty cents. You could eat a big lunch and get change back from a dollar. Now their hotdogs are two dollars and not as good. The Coke (in a cup) is a dollar and a half.
